Dolphin nautilus cc plus ultra fine filter basket replacement
Double-check before purchasing
- Nautilus CC Plus filter basket part numbers should be verified against current Maytronics listings as product revisions occur periodically
Compatibility
The Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus uses two cartridge filter baskets in a top-load panel. Ultra-fine filter basket replacements are available as direct-fit OEM and compatible third-party options for the Nautilus CC Plus, capturing finer debris including algae and fine sand.
How to Verify Fit
- Nautilus CC Plus uses two filter baskets side by side — ultra-fine replacement baskets must be purchased as a pair
- Ultra-fine mesh is noticeably denser than standard fine mesh — confirm the listing specifies 'ultra-fine' and 'Nautilus CC Plus'
- Each basket should click securely into its individual slot before closing the top-load lid
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Ordering fine-mesh baskets when ultra-fine is needed — both are available for the Nautilus CC Plus and the listings can look similar
- Purchasing a single basket — the Nautilus CC Plus requires two matched baskets
- Not cleaning ultra-fine baskets after every cycle — ultra-fine mesh clogs more quickly than standard fine mesh
When to Replace
Rinse ultra-fine baskets after every cleaning cycle. Replace the pair when either shows mesh damage. Due to finer mesh, plan for possible mid-season replacement in pools with heavy fine debris.
Buying Tips
The Nautilus CC Plus is one of Dolphin's most popular models. OEM and third-party ultra-fine filter baskets are widely available on Amazon and pool supply sites. Purchase as a pair and keep a spare set.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus come with ultra-fine or fine filter baskets?
The standard Nautilus CC Plus ships with fine-mesh filter baskets. Ultra-fine baskets are available as an upgrade or replacement.
How do I replace the ultra-fine filter baskets on the Nautilus CC Plus?
Open the top-load panel on top of the robot. Lift out both existing baskets. Insert two new ultra-fine baskets with handles aligned to the guide slots. Close the lid until it clicks.
Will ultra-fine filter baskets make the Nautilus CC Plus clean better?
Yes for fine debris like algae and dust. For pools with mainly coarse debris, the standard fine-mesh baskets are more practical as they clog less quickly.
